Change of plans

Sadly our attempt to book a trip to Tanzania fell flat. The company we chose were one person short of a full group.

Now instead of venturing far away from home for our annual adventure holiday we decided on one of our favourite countries in Europe, Portugal.

In a few short weeks now we will spend a week and a half in the national park Peneda Gerês. We’ll go hiking, kayaking, swimming, camping, and spend a few days at a Pousada, an old castle-type building converted into a hotel.

Eudaimonia

"We are inundated with advice on where to travel to; we hear little of why and how we should go – though the art of travel seems naturally to sustain a number of questions neither so simple, nor so trivial and whose study might in modest ways contribute to an understand of what the Greek philosophers beautifully termed eudaimonia or human flourishing." – Alain de Botton, The Art of Travel
